Sailing around Singapore

Last Saturday afternoon on 1 September 2012, sixteen BBGSians boarded a yacht at One Degree Fifteen Marina at Sentosa for a reunion with a difference. Thanks to the brilliant organization of Patricia Chang (hip hip hooray!), the Class of 1987 had a wonderful 25th anniversary and were fortunate enough to have the company of other BBGSians living in Singapore.

There was no talk of diamonds, boob jobs or investment banker husbands. Just plenty of genuine laughter and unfettered delight in each other's company on board a rented yacht. This is exactly how 25th year school reunions should be celebrated.

Ladies, I salute you!

"It was a wonderful afternoon. Thank you all for reminding me how fortunate I was to be at this school and to have grown up with you." - Tomasina Oh

"Good fun. My spirits lifted just being with you girls for one afternoon! Energized to face the daily grind. We must meet more often." - Jeninder Kaur Gill

"Let's not wait another 25 years! What a blast. Could have yakked for another 4 hours." - Chen May Yee

"Had a really good yacht outing with BBGSians today. The experience was priceless and I will remember this event for the rest of my life." - Patricia Chang

True to form, BBGSians cleaned up as the yacht was docking. The crew rushed in saying "It's ok, we will clean!", to which I replied "It's alright, we are from BBGS."
